Random Summer Fun!!

Grandma and Grandpa Buck came to visit this weekend!! Chase thinks it's so funny to make rediculous faces at the camera. Seems to be taking after a little boy I used to know (Uncle Matt)

Chase has started slowly potty training this summer. He loves wearing his new big boy underwear, but really has absolutely no interest in trying to go on the potty. I have a feeling it's going to be a much longer process than it was with Maia.

Maia and Chase have been taking swimming lessons this summer. Maia has been doing really well, and Chase is starting to feel more comfortable in the water. We visited the pool in Liberty, and the kids LOVED it! We spent close to 4hours there one day, and I had to drag the kids out of the pool to go home. They are both doing really well at jumping off the side into the pool and putting their faces in the water.

Maia and Taylor

We went to the splash ground with Addison and Carly. The two older girls had a lot of fun running through the fountains, but Chase and Carly had more fun just watching.

We visited Crown Center and saw Clifford! Again, Chase had more fun watching the other kids run through the fountains. Finally, Chase ran through the fountains at Zona Rosa where we went for Jazz on the Square. The kids had a blast dancing to the music, running through the fountains, and eating all the free treats from the booths.

Minivacation to St. Louis

Shaw's Garden

The Rose Garden

Feeding the "big fish" at the Japanese Garden

Maia and Chase loved walking on the stone paths, especially the ones that crossed the creek.Chase has been so into dinosaurs lately that we bought tickets to the Dinoquest in the Climatron. Once we were inside, Chase wasn't so sure he liked the "big dinosaurs" anymore. There were tons of dinosaurs displayed throughout the forest...really neat, just a little scarey for a 2 year old!The Maze

Maia loved playing in the supermarket, making all sorts of creative recipes

Some of the glass left on display
